Thanks.  Appreciate the isight and observations.

Also was going to mention appears to have had a sling.  The indent / holes are in the bottom of the stock, and the front band has a gap that perhaps is where the ring attached underneath for a sling?

The barrel is slightly crowned / rounded.  But it did seem odd the barrel length didn't "quite" match some of the other examples.

I was definitely wondering about all this, since it didn't match any photos on the main web page.

Thanks again.
